Are you a Pokémon trainer who wants to showcase your passion for Mega-Evolved creatures beyond the battlefield? Here's your chance to bring that love to your Nintendo Switch profile! Nintendo Switch Online members can now personalize their profiles with exclusive Mega-Evolved Pokémon icons, featuring the formidable Mega Chesnaught, the fiery Mega Delphox, and the sleek Mega Greninja. But here's where it gets exciting: these icons aren't just handed out—you earn them by diving into the world of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
From December 9, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. PST to January 6, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PST, head over to the Missions & Rewards section of the Nintendo Switch Online app. There, you’ll find a My Nintendo mission that’s as simple as it is fun: just play Pokémon Legends: Z-A or its Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Completing this mission nets you 100 Platinum Points, which you can redeem for the Mega-Evolved icon elements of your choice. It’s a win-win—enjoy the game and customize your profile in style!
But here's where it gets controversial: While earning these icons is straightforward, some trainers might argue that the real challenge lies in obtaining the elusive Mega Stones needed to Mega Evolve Pokémon in-game. These stones can be earned through Pokémon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battles, a competitive mode that tests your strategic skills. And this is the part most people miss—keeping up with the latest Ranked Battles season updates on Pokemon.com could give you an edge in securing those rare stones. Is grinding for Mega Stones worth the effort, or is it better to focus on enjoying the game casually? Let us know in the comments!
Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or just starting your Pokémon journey, these custom icons are a fantastic way to express your fandom. So, what are you waiting for? Dive into Pokémon Legends: Z-A, earn your Platinum Points, and start flaunting your Mega-Evolved pride on your Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 profile. Trainers, it’s time to make your mark—both in the game and on your profile!
